The terms of working with us.
These terms cover the use of our website and the basis on which we provide our services. We've kept them as clear as we can, the same way we run everything else.
Last updated: 04/06/2026
These terms and conditions ("Terms") apply to your use of the website at thesearchhawk.co.uk and, where relevant, to the marketing services provided by The Search Hawk Limited. By using our website or engaging our services, you agree to these Terms.
01 About us
This website is operated by The Search Hawk Limited, a company registered in England and Wales.
- Company: The Search Hawk Limited
- Registered office: Office 6, Hinckley Business Centre, LE10 2TP
- Company number: 15749342

02 Using our website
You may use our website for lawful purposes only. You agree not to use it in any way that breaches any applicable law, is fraudulent or harmful, or that attempts to gain unauthorised access to our systems. We may suspend or restrict access to our website at any time if we need to.
03 Our content and intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, all content on this website, including text, design, graphics and logos, is owned by or licensed to The Search Hawk Limited and is protected by copyright. You may view and print pages for your own reference, but you may not copy, reproduce or reuse our content for commercial purposes without our permission.
04 Our services
We provide local marketing services including websites, local SEO and Google Ads management. The specific services, deliverables and fees for any engagement will be agreed with you separately, in a proposal, quote or written agreement, before work begins. Those specific arrangements will sit alongside these Terms, and where there's any conflict, the specific agreement takes precedence.
No lock-in. As set out on our website, our ongoing marketing services run on a rolling monthly basis. After any agreed build is delivered, you're free to stop with reasonable notice, as set out in your agreement with us. This applies unless a minimum term is specified in a signed order form.
05 Quotes, forecasts and estimates
Any free forecast, estimate or projection we provide, including figures on search volumes, potential leads or expected results, is based on the best information available at the time and is provided for guidance only. It is not a guarantee of specific results. Marketing outcomes depend on many factors outside our control, including competition, market conditions and the actions of search engines and advertising platforms.
06 Fees and payment
Fees, payment terms and any ad spend (which is paid directly to platforms such as Google, not to us) will be set out in your agreement. Where we offer website builds over split payments, the terms of those instalments will be agreed in writing. Late or missed payments may result in services being paused.
07 What you own
Where we build a website or set up accounts on your behalf, you own the end product, your domain, website, Google account and tracking, as described on our website. If you leave us, you take what we built with you. This is subject to any fees due being settled and to the terms of your specific agreement.
08 Your responsibilities
To deliver our services we may rely on you to provide accurate information, materials such as photos and content, access to accounts, and timely feedback and approvals. Delays in providing these may affect timelines. You're responsible for ensuring any materials you give us don't infringe anyone else's rights.
09 Third-party platforms
Our services often involve third-party platforms such as Google, hosting providers and others. We don't control these platforms and aren't responsible for their availability, policies, pricing or changes. Your use of them may be subject to their own terms.
10 Limitation of liability
Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for anything that can't legally be limited, including death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud. Subject to that, we are not liable for any loss of profit, loss of business, or any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of our website or services. Our total liability to you in connection with our services will not exceed the fees you have paid us in the preceding twelve months. We provide our website "as is" and make no guarantees that it will be uninterrupted or error-free.
11 Links to other sites
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. These links are provided for convenience only, and we have no control over and accept no responsibility for the content of those sites.
12 Privacy
Your use of our website and services is also governed by our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which explain how we handle your personal data.
13 Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The version in effect is the one published on this page, with the "last updated" date shown at the top. Continued use of our website after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
14 Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
